Abstract
We report the discovery and confirmation of eight new two-image lensed quasars by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Lens Search. The lenses are SDSSJ0904+1512 (image separation \theta=1"13, source redshift z_s=1.826), SDSSJ1054+2733 (\theta=1"27, z_s=1.452), SDSSJ1055+4628 (\theta=1"15, z_s=1.249), SDSSJ1131+1915 (\theta=1"46, z_s=2.915), SDSSJ1304+2001 (\theta=1"87, z_s=2.175), SDSSJ1349+1227 (\theta=3"00, z_s=1.722), SDSSJ1455+1447 (\theta=1"73, z_s=1.424), and SDSSJ1620+1203 (\theta=2"77, z_s=1.158). Three of them, SDSSJ1055+4628, SDSSJ1455+1447, and SDSSJ1620+1203, satisfy the criteria for constructing our statistical sample for studying the cosmological model. Based on galactic absorption lines of the lens galaxies, we also derive lens redshifts of z_l=0.398 and z_l=0.513 for SDSSJ1620+1203 and the previously discovered lens SDSSJ0746+4403, respectively.
